Ranchi-
When man bites dog, it makes news. This is rightly proved in case of Goldie alias Golu putting up at Chotanagpur Dog Hostel & Training Centre at Kanke road in the state capital of Jharkhand.
Well, you guessed it right, Goldie alias Golu is a dog. This Labrador breed animal has already entered its 21st year of lifespan, thereby defying the average age of 10-11 years only.
Golu is presently the cynosure of dog lovers, who is understandably putting on airs on the arrival of any visitor in the hostel. Deep Yellow in colour, this Labrador was named Golu because of its ‘roly-poly’ body structure in it’s hey days still surviving in its inimitable ‘rough & tough’ style. This creature has defied the basic thrust of life span and is one of the proud possessions of its owner Dr Manoj Mishra and his wife Seema Mishra.
Mishras have given their best in managing and maintaining this noble animal. Manoj has given treatment through Ayurveda and Homeopath medicines to keep the animal hale and hearty. “Though it has lost the capacity to produce issues but the dog is maintaining good health, which is basically a matter of research or study when it’s survival for so long is concerned,” informed the proud owner of the animal, Manoj Mishra.
When the world is witnessing enhancement in the lifespan of human, there are cases when the same is happening with animals too. Thanks to the medical science and contemporary medicines that have made things possible.
“Though it has lost the capacity to produce issues but the dog is maintaining good health, which is basically a matter of research or study when it’s survival for so long is concerned,” informed the proud owner of the animal, Manoj Mishra.
He is possessive about his oldest possession and fear that he will lose a very dear animal as it has grown its age. “The Labrador has produced 15-16 issues till now and is still living without any problem,” said Mishra.
Apart from physical, the dog is mentally fit. It still behaves as one of the obedient ‘son or student’ & never troubles its master unnecessarily. This is one of the rare development that needs to be recorded for animal lovers, claimed the couple.
However, this animal is enjoying the attention of not only its masters but also of its neigbours presently on account ot it being the oldest surviving animal at his master’s kennel.
